Proper preparation of wood surfaces is vital to insure the best paint adhesion and provide you with a beautiful, long lasting finish to your home. Various types of wood require different kinds of preparation. In general, wood products require re-caulking. On previously painted wood surfaces, hand scraping is necessary in order to remove all loose paint before painting. In addition, the surface must be re-caulked and exposed, and all bare wood must be primed.
The process for painting aluminum siding begins with proper preparation. To insure this, Fresh Touch Custom Painting uses a combination of pressure washing and hand washing to remove dirt, oil, or chalking from the surface. On chalky surfaces, it is necessary to clean and sometimes add a chemical bonding agent. All landscaping and plants are covered gently with drop cloths and windows and doors are masked off with paper. The products we use are specifically manufactured for aluminum surfaces and are applied with an airless sprayer to produce an even finish that will last for years.
In order to properly paint stucco, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the surface. In order to do this we begin by pressure washing the entire house. It is sometimes necessary to chemically treat areas that have been exposed to mold or mildew and it is normal to see permanent stains after this process. Hairline cracks are common and the material we use is designed to minimize their appearance. After your home has been properly prepared, it is ready to be repainted; total saturation is the key in this process. To achieve this the paint is applied using a combination of airless spray, brush, and/or roller techniques. This will provide a full and uniform coverage of the stucco and insure a great-looking, long-lasting finish for your home.
What many people love most about hardi board siding is how versatile it is. In addition to being strong enough to withstand the majority of the elements, hardi board material can mimic the appearance and texture of wood, leaving a beautiful finish. We highly recommended priming all newly installed unprimed hardi siding. Our primers are specially formulated to be applied to fiber cement siding, such as hardie siding. After your surfaces is properly primed, we use 100 percent acrylic exterior paint for your home, as acrylic paint is best suited for fiber cement, stone and stucco exterior painting. We make sure all of your caulking is completed, and that all of your rough, and cut ends are primed when possible. Additionally, we make sure that you complete a complete washing of the hardi board exterior prior to painting. This increases the durability of the paint job and helps to maintain the finish by preventing premature peeling and chipping.
Finishes can be brushed, rolled, sprayed or applied by dipping. The application technique, the quality and quantity of finish applied, the surface condition of the substrate, and the weather conditions at the time of application can substantially influence the life expectancy of the finish. How a finish is applied to cedar is important for durability and good performance. When used as a natural finish, the service life of a water-repellent is only one to two years depending upon the wood and the exposure. Treatments on textured surfaces generally last longer than those on smooth surfaces.
Wood decks and fences are generally constructed of cedar or treated lumber. They are most often stained with a semi-transparent oil stain on the deck floor, post, rails, and fence. This material is designed to add color and provide protection by penetrating the wood surface and leaving a wood preservative inside. The most common problem with deck finishes is on deck floors. Solid stains or paints almost always begin to fail quickly due to extremes of water, sun, and traffic. If your deck is new, we strongly recommend using a semi-transparent stain specifically designed for decks. If your deck has been previously painted or stained with a solid body stain that has begun to fade, it can be repainted or re-stained in the same manner. We recommend the same specifications and products for fences.
Rotten exterior wood trim is a common problem on most houses. It can be replaced by our experienced carpenters who have the proper tools and who follow the proper procedures. Replacing rotten wood trim and decking can prevent further damage of your home and save you money in the long run. Once the wood replacement is complete we prime all bare wood surfaces. You can prevent future rotting problems by staying on top of routine maintenance, such as keeping gutters cleaned out and keeping a solid coat of paint on all exterior wood.
